        <h1>MxPlugin Deployment Installation</h1>
        <p>When you run the MxPlugin  MSI&#160;(Windows Installer package)  on a target PC it will install the files and folders required for running any third-party MxPlugins developed for your applications and then perform a number of <a href="Install-SetupTasks.htm">setup tasks</a>. Optionally, you may also elect to  install the MxPlugin SDK which will  install the additional files and folders necessary for developing your own MxPlugins and applications that use them - see step 2.4 </p>
        <p class="Tip">We recommend you use the <a href="Install-FolderFileStructure.htm">standard directory</a> and <a href="Install-WindowsRegistryUse.htm">Windows Registry</a> structure for the development of your MxPlugins and applications in order to maintain compatibility with MxPlugins developed by third parties.</p>
